If we are influenced by what we watch, then how do movies affect our way of thinking or reactions in real life? For people trying to fit stereotypes or the actions that the characters take, I know that we sometimes tend to shape our personalities or self-identity to correspond with what we see on a TV screen. For example, the movie 10 Things I Hate About You is about two completely opposite people that fall in love under incidental circumstances. In real life, some expect that their lives match the popular cliche.In addition, I also know that the type of movies we watch can say something about our personality or the way our mind handle things. Likewise, whether you know it or not, movies can have an affect on you physically and emotionally.
Mulvey sees this binary relationship between viewer and object being viewed as a part of our culture, and the greatest example of this is found in cinema.

In this essay, I will further discuss her viewpoints on cinema and voyeurism, and how it connects to the film Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock.
Film genres give the audience information into the type movie it may be, this in turn helps them to decide whether the movie is suitable for them or not. The Maltese Falcon, a film categorised as Film Noir and The Searchers, a Western genre film, are both from different genres but both reinforce and challenge dominant social and cultural beliefs and values throughout each film. Each genre can be broken down into; codes, conventions and narrative conventions. Codes are aspects of the text that help the audience make meaning. These codes can be shown as symbolic, written, audio and technical.

Technology has molded society and directly impacted people. Something that is centralized is then taken to individual homes which gives a private communication, however, makes people apart of the masses. Williams discussed how technology has altered society and changed the relationship of the world when McLuhan writes about movies this is seen. “To a highly literate and mechanized culture, the movie appeared like a world of triumphant illusions and dreams that money could buy” (4) according to McLuhan.

Romantic Melodrama: Genre development illustration in films All that Heaven Allows and Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Serving as a method of decoding the films, the emergence of the genre romantic melodrama succeeds in approaching the audience emotionally as well as intellectually by seriously deciphering the social flaws. Particularly, this is done through the delineation of virtuous and innocent lovers suffering from repressive prejudice and restrictions in the morbid society. As a matter of fact, both Douglas Sirk and Rainer Werner Fassbinder fully exploit the genre in their movies to examine the communities they stay with and thus contribute to the future development of this genre in the film industry. More interestingly, the fact that Fassbinder reproduced Sirk’s masterpiece to show his homage and to further convey his own ideologies enables the audience to study profoundly the evolutionary path of the romantic melodrama. Taking advantage of identical myths, while adjusting and evolving conventions and icons, films All that Heaven Allows (Sirk, 1955) and Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (Fassbinder, 1974) substantiate not only the reflexivity of romantic melodrama, but also the genre’s progression in either thematic or aesthetic expression over decades; specifically, the latter film displays the vulnerability of love in a harsher way and hence questions the societal reality more radically.
